"Boss Ross" the Roth-inspired Apollo

So here it is, just a day to go, and I got this thing together! With so much of my time spent out-of-state, I had to forgo the candy yellow over silver flake I'd originally envisioned, and went with a finked-out "ratina" look, instead. Inspired by Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's show cars and monster cartoons, this decal really set the tone:

So here it is:

..and now the details:
A micro-mini BMX wheel (451mm) up front features a 1" wide slick and a six-shooter XS hub. This is dragster-cool, Daddy-O!

The black widow's hourglass on that taillight gives followers a warning, and check out how those aluminum pedals echo the design of that seatpost clamp!
Big Daddy - style sayings and cartoons appear here and there on the frame and fork. Here are a couple more:

How about the spaced-out eyeball and antennae on that tiki-tough bamboo fender?

Those super-narrow mini-apes received glitter grips, a double-clamp stem and these leather tassles with resin skull beads.

:shock: :shock: :shock: :mrgreen: WOW im so glad you pulled it out. I didnt think you would finish for a while there. Dude your bike is awesome. Roth would have liked it. I wanted to take a picture like that one for my Roth build but I couldnt find the right mask.

I'm pretty happy with the result, even if I'd originally pictured a more flashy finished product. Now if I could just ride it for more than a few miles without my thighs/knees burning... guess if one is over six feet tall and 200+ lbs., maybe a 20" banana bike isn't the wisest choice. I'll pay my dues for cool.
